In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant LLG Sachsen-Anhalt, Dez. Pflanzenschutz submitted a request to the competent national authority in Germany to modify the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for copper compounds in herbs and edible flowers. The data submitted in support of the request were found sufficient to derive an MRL proposal of 150 mg/kg, confirming the MRL proposal of the MRL review, for copper compounds in herbs and edible flowers in support of the intended indoor use. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that the long-term intake of copper residues resulting from the intended and existing uses, natural background levels and monitoring levels might present a risk to consumer health. Although residues in herbs and edible flowers are minor contributors to the overall consumer exposure, a risk management decision has to be taken whether it is appropriate to increase the existing MRLs for these crops, given that a potential consumer intake concern could not be excluded.
根据欧盟委员会条例（EC）No 396/2005第6条，申请人LLG Sachsen-Anhalt，植物保护部向德国主管国家当局提交了一份申请，请求修改草药和食用花卉中铜化合物的现有最大残留限量（MRL）。提交的支持该申请的数据被认为足以得出150毫克/千克的MRL提案，确认了MRL审查中的MRL提案，即针对用于室内的草药和食用花卉中的铜化合物。基于风险评估结果，欧洲食品安全局得出结论，预期用途和现有用途、自然背景水平以及监测水平导致的铜残留长期摄入可能对消费者健康构成风险。尽管草药和食用花卉中的残留对消费者总体接触量的贡献较小，但鉴于不能排除潜在的消费者摄入问题，必须就是否适当提高这些作物的现有MRL做出风险管理决定。
